 "The 12month MBA offered by Oxford College of Business in affiliation with the Australian Institute of Business was a great learning experience, being the ideal program to learn about business at the strategic level. The program format is built on a good business base and used that knowledge to develop a deep understanding of making strategic business decision."
"All modules were taught by industry leaders that were active in their industry, which allowed students to learn from their experiences and challenge the way a problem or opportunity was viewed. Combined with the regular lectures on the weekend with professionals sharing their experiences from areas such as Strategic Management to Corporate Governance, it has given me a strong appreciation of the critical success factors of business. "
"One of the greatest assets of this course was the desertion that allowed me to identify a business problem and recommend a solution backed by research. This helped me to develop a strategy while extending myself into new areas, which gave me a good understanding of how to build a business. Throughout this subject and the entire program, the mentoring and supervision provided by faculty members and the staff at OCB distinguished this innovative learning experience."

 "I chose to study the 12month MBA offered by OCB because of the weight and credibility it holds in the business community. People are aware of the qualification and you are recognised as having a high level knowledge of business law.
"I found that I gained more respect in my professional life. Studying refreshed my enthusiasm and confidence in my knowledge and ability to advise businesses on employment matters.
"The use of relevant and current materials such as Leadership, Strategic Finance Issues and access to the latest journals enabled me to understand and apply the information immediately in my working life. This meant that I was able to use my new knowledge rather than simply gain a qualification. This improved understanding has translated, not only into long term business success but also immediate short term benefits."
"I believe a Masters degree is almost mandatory to be considered for current Enterprenures. An MBA is a strong differentiator as it shows a commitment to developing skills beyond my discipline and allows me to broaden my general business understanding.
"The flexibility in the manner in which the program is designed helps us to work full-time while completing the MBA in 12months. The flexible timetable and one module per month really assists me with the work/life/family juggle.
" The faculty members in the MBA program are genuinely outstanding . All lecturers are balancing teaching with work in industry and they bring contemporary perspectives to the MBA units.
"My decision to undertake the 12month MBA program was also based on the quality and structure of the program, the flexibility of the various delivery modes and the profile of the typical MBA students. I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with students from various other business sectors, professional backgrounds. The MBA has a very friendly culture and students readily support each other, the way i see it this where the real MBA experience is."

 "The 12month MBA program at OCB is a stand-out for those considering joining a part-time MBA that is run on a full-time mode. It is fully accredited and academically rigorous for a multitude of reasons. The professors are talented, committed and genuinely caring; their talent for sharing their expertise and experience was a treat.
"The wonderful support of the program staff, one-month per module , the great classroom setting, and the many other unique benefits all streamlined the logistical elements. "OCB's faculty and staff clearly go to great lengths to make their students' environment comfortable and well-equipped to focus on learning. While it is in no way an easy program, the intelligent arrangement of the courses makes it manageable to pull off a full-time career at the same time. The MBA's cohort class style also offers the ideal venue to create a strong network and life-long friendships.
"Considering the significant time that it takes to recoup the investment in any MBA program, the 12month MBA program is an incredible deal for the value received. I would recommend the program to anyone wanting to grow in a management career or start their own business, or anyone looking to be more successful in an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable marketplace."

 The best part of the 12month MBA program is the flexibility it offers to its students. This enables many from the corporate and business world to purse the course. As a student of OCB's 12month MBA I found the modules have been carefully selected by the institute. It also offered a range of optional modules for one to qualify in their specific areas of work. I believe the future business focus depends largely on setting the right strategies to achieve results. In that sense, 7 common subjects out of the twelve are based on "Strategy". This is an excellent feature of this program. That was also the reason for me to select this program.
This program enriched my business management knowledge. Carefully selected faculty members had a great impact on me and my fellow students. Management of Oxford College of business has to be congratulated on their commitment to quality than quantity. The faculty refreshed us to do things the right and proper. They taught us to use our text books as a guide more than just a theory bank.
The program got us out of the conventional way of doing business and to do the professional way.
The numerous benefits of this MBA is the application knowledge it provides to use the right methodology in our businesses, which in turn helps us to reap best results. Corporate Governance module was an eye opener to all of us to understand the ethical part of business and the social responsibility we need to uphold to serve our internal and external customers. It has also helped me increase my analytical skills, thinking skills and to have clarity in what I do.
Without any hesitation I would recommend the 12month MBA offered by Oxford College of Business for its reasonable infrastructure and phenomenal staffs who are very caring and service minded. With this program, you can rest assure of improving your business knowledge and skills to face the future challenges that lies in the business world.
